Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and especially Breakfast Club.

I don't know, i was in my late teens during most of that Brat Pack thing, and I liked it.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

The Brain

I liked Not Another Teen Movie.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Wonder Woman- I am teh sad. I'd heard this was finally a good DC movie. It is not. :yawn:

Agree with the :yawn: fortunately it also features the most beautiful woman alive. She was better as Gisele though.

I really wish DC would drop that colorless filter, and maybe embrace the ridiculous stories instead of trying to make everything so goddamn gritty.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Bad, bad and horrible. :thumbsdown:

meh, meh, ok.



Haven't seen any of them;  I was a bit too old to be in the target demographic, so I never had any particular desire to see any of them, but from the trailers and clips I have seen, The Breakfast Club looked to be one I definitely wanted to avoid.

My favorite 80s teen movie was definitely Heathers:D

Fast times is still gold though. Gold I say!

It is lovely, I think, for all adult ages. Season 2 is great too.

Sixteen Candles is the weakest of the lot, primarily because of all the Asian jokes. Pretty in Pink was all about class war, which as a budding socialist at the time i aspired too. Breakfast Club is a classic though; it's problem, probably, is that it's dated. I mean teenagers without cell phones? WTF? But I did have a crush on Ally Sheedy at the time, and she did play a loner, stoner chick, which I related too...so yeah, I liked Breakfast Club.

Watched The Lobster, with Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz. Laugh a minute riot it almost is, but absurd and relationship-skewering it definitely is.

8.5 Children to Solve Your Problems With out of 10.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

-J. R. R. Tolkien

Just finished Season 4 of Bojack Horseman.  Holy Shit, it's awesome.  There are two late season episodes that really kicked my ass.  One I saw what was coming the whole way but it still landed, the other was out of the blue.

Maybe it's because I'm sick, but I'm still a bit weepy.
